Gubernatorial Candidates Meet For The First Time

In VA Governor's Race on December 3, 2008 at 6:23 pm

For the first time all four prospective candidates for Governor of Virginia met face to face in what was described as an “informal” debate in Richmond.

From the reports of the proceedings, the event appeared to be a hint of what is to come. Democrats squabbling amongst each other with the republican attempting to stay above the fray. It could stay that way until the Dems decide who their candidate will be.

Here is a recap from various papers around the state:

The Washington-Post focuses on the sparring between the democrats.

The Free-Lance Star talks transportation.

The Roanoke Times takes a general approach.

The NewsVirginian and The Virginian Pilot both look at taxes, but in a different way.

UPDATE… The McDonnell Camp is the first up with a YouTube video highlighting their candidate’s performance. See it by clicking here.
